are all that could be desired by the most
fastidious guest Tie last finishing touches
to the structul are beng added and next
winter it will stand forth the adm, alton of
all who visit those shining shores"
The Harbor House is another nice hotel,
kept by Mr. w. II. Jenkins. Indeed, no
town of the same size is better supplied
with creditable accommodations for the
public. Albeit the place is still an infant in
swaddling clothes, yet we find here some
commercial firms that would reflect credit
upon much older city. We give the names
of some of these, to-wit:
E. Goldstein, c. S. Dreggars, son of old
Liberty county, Ga, Neil Dahl and Daugh-
trey q knowley j. B. Moody is the Jolly
Captain OF the ferryboat which plies be-
tween Trabue and Charlotte Harbor Mrs.
Nancy Scott is poslnistress, assisted by Mr..
Dahl The writer called upon Mr.. Trabue,
who has been very liberal in his donations
of land to the town that bears his name
He views the future with the eye of an en-
thusiast, and has prepared a map de-
hneating all the parks, squares and pro-
Jected improvements of the young city
May every hope be realized.
CHARMoTTE HARBo3.
This is the name Of the town and post
two miles from Trabue. The location is so
elevated that owing to the number of
hickory trees that fringe the beach, it has
hitherto been known as Hickory Grove y
The village extends about two miles along
the shore and is daily growing in public
favor as q charming retreat both in summer
and winter. Already it has good hotel,
school, church, saw mill, several stores and
full compliment of professional men. In
deed, it is without doubt one
of the most delightful pleasure re-
sorts in Florida. Messrs. Flenn q Hartman
are prominent lawyers and clever gentle
men. John b. Thomas, Esq, Justice of the
Peace, also dispenses justice when neighbors
fall out, and Mr.. Frank W. Shelton fur
nishes every comfort from his well filed
store Close at hand, too, is the big saw
and planning mill of o. F. Goodwin, who can
supply building material at short notice
sufficient for every possible demand But
the chief feature and browning glory of this
growing town is the
SUMMER HOTEL,
kept by the called Florida cracker, i" Theo-
dore l. Weaver, who recently drew a prize
of S., 900 in the New Orleans lottery. He is
no Cracker" however, but on the contra
ry well educated, intelligent gentleman,
and is blessed with charming and refined
woman for wife Mr. Weaver has wisely
utilized his good luck" by judicious invest
ments He keeps a delightful house,

steam launch to ply every hour as a ferry
boat between the ''Harbor" and Trabue.
If his hotel were ten times bigger than it is
there would be no lack of guests, both win
ter and summer.
Fish literally swarm in the still waters of
the "Harbor," and the writer during his
sojourn never failed to rise at the matutinal
hour of a. m. to see Capt. Moody
DRAW THE SEINE
within twenty yards of his bedchamber.
This he did without assistance, and the out
come was indeed wonderful. Pompano,
speckled trout, caviar, blackfish, mullet,
founders, whiting, etc, were landed dd Hbi-
tlt1n on the strand. The smaller specimens
are thrown back iuto the water, and the ex-
cess, after selections for the table, are cooped
up in an open "carp or box and anchored out
for future use. Capt. Moody, who makes
his living by the business, says he has
caught in the proper season as many as
%, 600 mullet, or $50 barrels at single haul
The writer would like to describe his adven-
lures on sailboat and take the reader with
him into glorious sea bath, but already
